Arsenal are one of a number of clubs keeping tabs on the progress of Bayern Munich youngster Pierre Hojbjerg, according to the SportsDirectNews website.

The 18-year-old midfielder first made his debut for Bayern last year, but amassed a further nine first-team appearances this term, including a starting role for Pep Guardiola’s side in their German cup final win over Borussia Dortmund.

The skillful Dane has shown some ability playing centrally or wide on the left of midfield, and looks like one of the most promising young talents currently coming through at the Allianz Arena.
